We have symbolized SCHOOL SPIRIT in LITTLE MAJOR, our mas- cot. To him and all he stands for; we, the staff of 1955 dedicate the MEMOIR.

The plot begins when Biff allows himself to be hypnotized by a friend, Jean Blake, in hopes of sharpening his brain for an exam. His professor, Mr. Drooper, portrayed by Delano Driver, is accidently hypnotized and by some odd quirk the two brain waves get crossed. Biff takes on the aspects of a scholar and Mr. Drooper begins acting like a high school kid. It took three acts to unravel the mixup. Those in the cast were Joyce Lester, Margaret Furman, Jane Staples, Sammie Jo Brigman, Joanna Enroughty, Malvin Tuck, and Don Gobble.

The Manchester Hi-Y is affiliated with the National Hi-Y Clubs through the Y.M.C.A. This year the club is the strongest it has been in the last four years. All of the officers attended the Southern States Leadership Assembly in Blue Ridge, North Carolina and some of the boys attended the Norfolk Conference for leaders. 74 The club does many service projects in the school and community. This year one of the projects in the school was the preparation of a parking lot for the school. Hi-Y members also have a basketball team that competes with other Hi-Y clubs in the City.

The fifty-four members of the regular SCA meets on the first Monday of each month to discuss school problems and projects. This year the group had a hard task placed upon them. This task was to install the honor code. This honor Code was on a completely voluntary basis. It was formed mainly to promote honesty. The treasury profited more from the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance than has ever been taken in before by it. S.C.A. members also helped with the operetta and received one half the profits of that. 78 IS GOVERNING BODY HONOR CODE OF MANCHESTER DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL This year the inner council was formed from the As a member of the student body at Manchester High School, I HERE- BY PLEDGE MYSELF: To be honest with myself and regular council.

For the first time a sub-staff, composed of members of the Junior class was chosen. They understudy the Senior staff and help with much of the routine work. Members of the sub-staff will receive first con- sideration for the staff for the coming year, but this does not mean they will be the staff. Positions were open to all members of the Junior class for next year's staff. Members o f the sub-staff remain subject to removal by vote of the Senior staff at any time for not co-operating or not assuming their share of responsibility. a MEMOIR ENLARGED The 1955 Memoir staff was chosen in April of last year. The members were selected from candidates in the Junior class by the '54 staff. Each member was required to sell $15 in ads. Mrs. George D. Shropshire is sponsor. A summer supplement containing activities taking place near the close of school, which previously had to be included in the Memoir the following year, is also being added.

This year Buddy did all the kicking, and some passing. Buddy was also outstanding on defense. From his position as linebacker he made jarring tackles all over the field, and turned intercepted passes into touchdowns. Whenever an opponent was expected to punt Buddy moved back to receive it. His punt returns left nothing to be desired. : : Ry = e:% For his fine all-around play Buddy was chosen a es ater PAX Captain of the mythical All Suburban Team.

JUNIOR AND Tara Theme'’ was the theme for the 1955 Junior-Senior prom. The bare gym was transformed into a lovely Southern Plantation lawn party setting for the occasion. Varied colors of blue streamers covered the ceiling and along the sides was the effect of a stone wall covered with spring flowers. There were four large, ivy-covered columns around the orchestra of Jimmy Yankovich, and in the background were two southern plantations. On the far end of the gym was a large Confederate flag. Japanese lanterns provided soft lights to complete the effect. ¥ Juniors decorating the Gym: Anne Ed- munds, Elsie Little and Donnie Boyd. 142 Sixty-five couples took part in the figure this year.
